6. 'layout' Subdirectory

./layout

In the subdirectory's init.lua the tags are assigned their names, which are the letters A-W-E-S-O-M-E that make up the taglist on the wibar, as well as the layout assignments and initialization of the custom layouts this configuration provides, detailed in their own section below.

This configuration treats each tag as its own workspace in the sense that this works on the traditional desktop environments such as XFCE and Gnome,there is no dynamic tagging provided because I am too much of a mess to solve problems I don't even have in the first place. I like have workspaces with all sorts of clients I can come back to later arranged more along the lines of what I need to accomplish a task. We are all different, you like dynamic tagging then please do you but I will be here still doing me happy as a clam about it.

Custom Layouts

Layout Arrangement
centermaster master in the center and additional on the sides
deck Overlapping clients arranged in a card-deck like manner, useful for switching between clients that are roughly maximized
empathy Stacks three on top, two on bottom
equalarea tiles clients with as equal screen geometry as possible and retaining usefulness when clients >5
horizon creates three rows of clients, like thrizen but horizontal
stack splits window in half and stacks additional windows on the right
thrizen three column layout
